On a cold dark winter night
Hidden by the stormy light
A battle rages for the right
For what will become

In the valley of the damned
A warrior with sword in hand
Travels fast across the land
For freedom he rise

And the sign from the master on high
He screams a loud and across hear the cry
For the kingdom of fire and ice
And the power to be alive

Four strong ride on carry on through the war
Four strong carry on living for ever more

On the wings of death
By the hands of doom
By the darkest light
From the darkest moon

Crossing silent seas
Over mountains high
All will stand as one tonight

On the black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom my guide
When the master will call us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

In the valley of the damned
Days breaks with golden strand
Over pastures green it glows
To where night returns

On the shadows faces appear
Warriors wearing full metal gear
Join together one and all
Before the glorious light

Rise up gather around come and hear what is said
Use your senses open your mind don't you ever forget

On the wings of life
By the hands of hope
By the brightest light
From the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas
Over mountains high
To the valley of the damned

On the black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom my guide
When the master will call us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

Solos: Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam

On the black wind forever
We ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom my guide
When the master will call us
He stands high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

Outside on a winter's night when the rain begins to fall
There's a chill in the air and the howl of the wolves and the rain beats at the door
The seven kings will ride on the wind up towards the mountain's high
And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry

When the dawn of the a new sun will see the day and the strongest hearts grow old
And the warrior stands on the top of the hill in the snow...

Dark night with a glimmering light in the distance up ahead
In the forest they dwell with a misty spell no one hears what once was said
And the eagles fly through the clouds and the earth bleeds dark and cold
When the voices of men will ring out again all creation shall unfold

When the colour of night will fade to light leaves the mysteries unfold
And the warrior stands on the top of the hill in the snow...

And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall hoping for a better day
And the we're never giving in until we find the words to say

Burning starfire, shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stands by your side
When the night falls on we will rise
For no lost souls will live on forever

Solo - Sam

Midnight on the valley below still the horsemen follow through
There's a forest that leads to the foot of the hill that inside the magic holds
Seven strong they ride on along to the place where sorrow lies
And the shadows of night will no longer hide all their mysteries come undone

When the dusk of a full moon will see the night and the weaker hearts go cold
And the warrior stands on the top of the hill in the snow...

And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall hoping for a better day
And the we're never giving in until we find the words to say

Burning starfire, shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stands by your side
When the night falls on we will rise
For no lost souls will live on forever

Solo - Herman

And we're standing one and all fighting till we fall hoping for a better day
And the we're never giving in until we find the words to say

Burning starfire, shine in the sky
For the lives of great men who stands by your side
When the night falls on we will rise
For no lost souls will live on forever
